Sleek Max Edge Control Maximum Hold Gel

Design Essentials Sleek Max Edge Control Maximum Hold Gel is a moisturizing maximum hold gel that securely lays down the hairline to give edges and tapered areas a smooth polished look. Spreads easily and delivers a lasting hold without flaking or hardening of the hair.

I use this product when I want to slick my hair edges down, but it doesn't hold them down for long. I have not found a product that really does; but this one holds better than some other ones that I have tried.

My hair is very stubborn when it comes to the laying down of baby hair. I have tried everything including the DE regular edge control. It work OK so I thought the maximum should work even better. Wrong. I'm not sure if my hair got used to it or what but it doesn't work. It may lay a few edges down but 10 min later they are curled again. And no matter what I use in my hair, it will turn white if it comes in contact with anything. I use castor oil on my edges and it turns white. I wash my hair and use a leave in...it turns white. So your hair has to be completely clean...or maybe that's just my head. If you have stubborn hair to lay down like for real stubborn this won't work....it'll just add buildup to the front of your head...so disappointed

I bought for my daughter whose hair is thick and relaxed. The product is thick and sticky and does not melt in your hand which makes it hard to evenly spread on her edges. It does work and makes her hair shiny, I just have to use a lot and rub it between my fingers before applying it to her edges. I just wish it wasnt so sticky.
